The rapidly developing field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound relies on the detection of gas-filled, encapsulated microbubbles that produce a unique signature in an acoustic field. These microbubbles ...
Imagine being able to quickly detect and diagnose blood vessel growth in cancerous tumors, and even predict how fast the tumors might metastasize or spread. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...
Lately we've seen an exciting string of research projects demonstrate how ultrasound can be harnessed to fight cancer, whether that be by helping drugs cross the blood-brain barrier, heating and ...
An international team of researchers led by an Israeli scientist has developed a noninvasive technology to kill breast cancer cells, an innovation that in the future could perhaps also be used to ...
Cancer treatment has undergone a revolution in recent years, with many innovative therapies coming onto the market. This is particularly true for cancer therapies that use a person’s immune system to ...
ETH Zurich researchers show how under ultrasound, microbubbles gas-filled bubbles generate liquid jets that penetrate cell membrane like tiny pinpricks. The dynamics of jets is governed by a ...
Bursting oxygen-filled microbubbles in breast cancer makes tumors three times more sensitive to radiation therapy in preliminary tests with animal models of the disease Injecting breast cancer with ...
A new study by researchers at Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center has found that injecting microbubbles filled with oxygen into breast cancer tumors makes them three times more sensitive to radiotherapy.
Fixing broken limb bones after serious injuries can challenge even the most skilled orthopedic surgeons. Too much bone loss makes regrowth impossible, and even smaller fractures make bone growth ...
Among the more interesting ways scientists hope to tackle the roots of Alzheimer's disease is by using microbubbles to prise open the blood brain barrier and sneak in drugs that bust apart toxic ...
The study, conducted in pancreatic cancer patients in Norway, was presented at the annual meeting of the International Contrast Ultrasound Society in Chicago. Tiny gas microbubbles may enhance the ...
